If you have not yet registered and hope to crash the course, sign up for the waiting list on GOLD. You will be slotted into a section as spaces open up. We expect to be able to accommodate substantially all the students who want to enroll in the course. If you do not have a place confirmed by Wednesday of the first week of the quarter, go to the section which you would like to join and get on a section waiting list that the TA will construct. Add codes will be given out during the second week of the term.2If you are on the course waiting list and have not yet received a section assignment, during the first week attend one of the sections for which you are on the waiting list. After the first week, you must attend the section for which you are registered. You may not attend another section. If you do not attend section during the first week, you will be dropped from the course and another student will takeyour place. If you have a documented medical or family issue conflicting with your first section meeting, please contact Professor Spickard and your TA as soon as possible.General Education and History Department RequirementsThis course counts toward the E and writing requirements of the general education program. It also counts toward the lower division sequence requirement for the history major. It plays a role in pre-major requirements in other departments such as sociology as well.Schedule of Readings and Lecture TopicsNote: Some weeks have very large reading assignments; others have smaller assignments. Plan ahead. You are responsible to do each of the readings by the date for which it is assigned or your section meeting that week, whichever comes first.Week 1April 3 Introduction to the coursePart I: Separate Worlds Become Connected 5 China at the Dawn of the Modern AgeRead Worlds of History, Ch. 15Week 210 Islam ObservedMovie: There Is No God But God12 Colliding Peoples: The Columbian ExchangeRead Worlds of History, Ch. 16Week 317 Cultural Revolution in EuropeRead Worlds of History, Ch. 17, 1918 Evening movie: The Mission, 7-10 pm, Girvetz 100419 Nationalism, Democracy and Human RightsRead Worlds of History, Ch. 18, 20Guest lecture: Mariel AquinoWeek 424 Slave SystemsRead Douglass, entire326 Industrial RevolutionsRead Worlds of History, Ch. 21Guest lecture: Susan SchmidtWeek 5May 1 European Empires Around the WorldRead Worlds of History, Ch. 22 2 Evening movie: First Contact, 7-9 pm,
